"Clingstone" is located in Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. The owner, Henry Wood, is a 79 year old architect who bought this house in 1961 for only $3600! The house had been empty for 2 decades when he bought it, so a lot of restoration had to be done. He loved this house so much that he documented every detail about the progress, and also found old pictures from the insurance company which had insured the house back in the day it was first built.{}"Clingstone" adlı bu ev, Amerika'nın Kuzeydoğu sahilindeki Rhode Island eyaletinin Narragansett körfezinde bulunuyor. Sahibi olan 79 yaşındaki mimar Henry Wood, bu evi 1961 yılında yalnızca 3600 dolar karşılığında satın almış. Ev 20 yıldır boş durmaktaymış ve yenilenmesi gerekiyormuş. Henry Wood bu projeyi adeta bebeği gibi görüp her anını dökümanlamış, hatta evin ilk yapıldığı yıllarda onu sigortalayan şirketin arşivinden eve ait eski fotoğraflar bile bulmuş.{}

They didn't need to get on the dock, they could have swung their fishing lines from the breakfast table upstairs.

Beautiful, inviting kitchen is made to serve the many guests this house can accommodate:

"The house is maintained by an ingenious method: the Clingstone work weekend. Held every year around Memorial Day, it brings 70 or so friends and Clingstone lovers together to tackle jobs like washing all 65 of the windows. "

I guess they have to wash off a lot of face prints from the windows, because I know I would lean my cheek against this window and not move for a few days... This is one of the 10 bedrooms(all with equally gorgeous view) in the house.

I was laughing at your comment on Hidden In France, what a great comeback! I would have never thought of that, so simple, but would have sent the snooty little goddess reeling. I need to find a class in witty comebacks. Although, I do think of good ones, but, usually the next day after I am done nursing my hurt feelings!Love your blog, I will add it to my bookmarks.

Actually, a "clingstone" gets its name from the literal meaning: clinging to a stone. The "stone" is the pit of the fruit, which the flesh of the fruit clings to. So you were actually correct in your logical thinking.

I love this house too! And I also would like to clean one or two windows - just to spend some time there...that would be wonderful. I like you story around this post!sunny greetings from germanygeisslein
